Business Recruiter

At Trunk Tools, we’re the leading AI company revolutionizing construction—the second-largest industry on earth. We recently raised a $40M Series B led by Insight Partners, bringing our total funding to $70M from top-tier investors including Redpoint and Innovation Endeavors. This new round is fueling our next phase of growth as we scale AI agents across the jobsite.

Our mission is to build the future of construction through intelligent automation. Despite being a $13+ trillion industry, construction still runs largely on analog processes—we’re changing that by embedding AI directly into field operations.

Founded by builders and technologists (Stanford, MIT), our team has delivered software used by over 140,000 field professionals, impacting millions of users and contributing to $10B+ in built projects. Many of us come from the field ourselves, giving us a deep understanding of the industry’s unique challenges.

After years of building the “brain” of construction, we’re now launching production-ready AI agents—starting with intelligent document processing and Q&A, and rapidly expanding into core operational workflows. Our team has doubled in the past year, and with 65+ employees (25+ engineers), we’re scaling fast and entering a period of hypergrowth—this is a rare opportunity to join at an inflection point.

The Role

Hybrid 3-days in our Soho office in NYC.

We’re hiring a Business Recruiter to own and scale hiring across our go-to-market and operations teams. This isn’t a sit-back-and-source role. You’ll partner closely with founders and hiring managers, build pipelines from scratch, close top candidates, and be relentless about bringing in the right people.

If you thrive in ambiguity, take extreme ownership, and love the hustle of building from the ground up, this is for you.

What You’ll Do

• Own end-to-end recruiting for Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, Operations, and G&A roles

• Build and manage a high-quality pipeline of business candidates through sourcing, referrals, outreach, and creative tactics

• Run fast and efficient recruiting processes, from screens to closing

• Partner with hiring managers to write job descriptions, calibrate profiles, and align on what great looks like

• Drive a smooth and human candidate experience at every step

• Track metrics, move fast, and iterate constantly

• Represent Trunk Tools at events, in outreach, and in how we show up as a company

• Build our recruiting muscle while staying scrappy—we’re early, and everyone here wears multiple hats

What We’re Looking For

• You know how to hustle. You’ve recruited in high-growth, fast-paced environments and you don’t need a playbook to get started.

• You’re startup-minded. You thrive in ambiguity, move fast, and adapt faster.

• You’re intrinsically motivated. You care deeply about quality and take pride in your craft.

• You take ownership. You don’t wait for permission to fix problems or move things forward.

• You’re a sharp communicator. Candidates trust you, and hiring managers want you in the room.

Requirements

• 4+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, ideally at a high-growth startup

• Experience hiring across go-to-market and business teams

• Proven success sourcing, closing, and managing multiple searches at once

• Strong judgment and intuition around talent and team dynamics

• Clear, thoughtful communication and process instincts

• Comfortable in a hybrid or in-office startup culture (we’re NYC-based)

Nice to Have

• Experience as a founding recruiter or early recruiting hire

• Exposure to hiring for technical roles

• You’ve built something from scratch—pipeline, process, or even a company

We aim to keep our process streamlined, transparent, and respectful of your time. Here’s what you can expect after applying:

• Initial Assignment

  Upon submitting your application, you’ll receive a brief assignment designed to give us insight into your recruiting approach.

• 30-Minute Introductory Call

  You’ll have a quick video call with our internal recruiter to get to know each other and discuss your background and motivations.

• 45-Minute Interview with Director of Operations

  A deeper dive into your experience and how it aligns with our operational and recruiting goals.

• Case Study Assignment

  You’ll be asked to complete a case study outlining your full-cycle recruiting process—from intake to offer. This helps us understand how you think, operate, and solve challenges.

• Case Study Presentation

  You’ll present your case study to our internal recruiter, walking through your approach, assumptions, and thought process.

• 30-Minute Interview with a GTM Hiring Manager

  This final step gives you the opportunity to meet a potential business partner and explore how you’d collaborate.

We value clarity and speed, so we aim to complete this process within 2–weeks.
